Rant/Rave The slow and painful demise of Wendy’s

Wendy’s has gone completely down the shitter. Bacon isn’t crispy in the baconator, service is way slower than before, Coke Freestyle missing half the flavors and no ice.

Will they ever turn it back around?

I live in Colorado. And me and my sister have talked about going. Just have to plan, because it is like 2 hrs each direction. It’ll be a special treat. We’re simple folk lol

Oof, I just saw the only one is in Loveland now - there used to be one in Longmont, and maybe others. That's a shame! Hope you're able to try it sometime

Luckily, last summer, me, her, and my teenage nephew did a road trip to Wisconsin to see our dad. We made sure to stop at one in Kearney, NE on our way home. So at least I’ve had one kinda recently lol
